“Although you want to change your ways, you always end up back at square one. Here's how to annihilate square one¦”
Do you realize you have the capability to do whatever you want? Okay, perhaps you can't fly, invent a time machine, or grow taller, but you can stick with an exercise program, eat healthily, and feel good about yourself. Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Answer this: Who runs your brain? You do. Sure, other people have input data, but like a bad software virus, you can erase it.. well, at least you can put it in the background and ignore it. Instead of dwelling on failures, think of successes. Instead of setbacks, focus on goals. Instead of unhealthy behaviors, plan new strategies. You have a choice what you think about. Eliminate all negative thoughts from your mind. When you start stewing on them, replace them with positives. Think of the benefits and write down things you like about yourself. When you look in the mirror, don't allow the doubt to set in. Instead of " I am too fat!" or "I'll never lose weight” replace it with, "I like my eyes!" or "I'm so happy with my new hairstyle." By changing your mindset, you can move forward in life and give square one a run for its money.

Thank you for the information....what I noticed now that they go by your postal code I do live 15 mins away from Humber River Hospital but they are are sending me down to Toronto Western Hospital and I did get appointment for Feb 4, 2013 I will keep posting information I do get for people if this will help them..
That's a nice chart. I kind of try to keep myself stuck at 7 though..!!
Are you “listening?”
Hunger vs. Satiety Chart
1...………………….Stuffed to the point of feeling sick
2…Very uncomfortable, you need to loosen your belt
3….………….……Uncomfortable full, you are stuffed
4…..….…Very full, you feel like you have over eaten
5…………………...Comfortably full, you are satisfied
6……………………Contented, neither full nor hungry
7………………………….Beginning signals of hunger
8……………………………………Hungry need to eat
9…………………Very hungry, unable to concentrate
10……………..………………Starving, dizzy, irritable
Where are you right now on this chart? At number five you have satiety, if you are above this
number on the chart you have over eaten. If you are at six, you are neutral, neither hungry nor full.
If you are at a seven, then you are beginning to get hungry and need to consider eating soon. If
you let your hunger go for a while, you will start to feel the physical signs of hunger.

Hi all,
I hope this works. This is an interesting concept. Sorry so big. Had to do a screen shot.

Laparoscopic surgery does lead to gas. However Prilosec/ Nexium has been seen to give immense relief in a number of people. Do try it. If it still persists, I'd suggest you see the doctor.
Bile reflux is rare but is seen many-a -times after a gastric bypass surgery. However, it goes away after a year. I'm very sorry for you two. I'm sure something will be worked out. I just wanted to know if bile reflux is really dangerous in anyway or is it just one of the side- effects that will pass?

Good Morning, Lizzie & Paula-
I'm Gina and I had surgery just about 3.5 weeks ago. I'm happy to report that everything is going great. I've had no pain (other than during the first 24 hours and it was very manageable), no nausea, and no complications. I do wish this board was more active. I find myself hanging around the Lightweight message board (and sometimes even the RNY board, too).
It's nice to meet you both :)
Good morning Lizzie,
Welcome! Tell us a little about yourself.

It maybe a while before you can feel ok. Give it some time. You should be fine.
